Arthur Schopenhauer, who can be called the father of philosophical pessimism,
spent part of his childhood in Gdańsk-Oliwa.
His essay The Vanity of Existence contains a sentence that became a well-known maxim: ‘Every evening we are
poorer by a day’. In the work Half and Half
it was supplemented by its counterpart: every morning we are richer by a day.
Co wieczór jesteśmy (Every evening we are)
ubożsi o jeden dzień (poorer by a day)
Każdego ranka jesteśmy (Every morning we are)
bogatsi o kolejny dzień (richer by a day)
